Deputies to brighten Christmas for 40 children
Clay County Sheriff’s Office deputies will help 40 deserving children have a fantastic holiday during their annual Shop with a Sheriff event Sunday.
Deputies will shop with the children Dec. 15 at the Wal-Mart at 8301 N. Church Rd., Kansas City, Mo. One half of the children will shop at 9 a.m., with the second half at 10 a.m. Families were identified to participate through counselors and social workers in North Kansas City Schools, where the Sheriff’s Office provides school resource deputies.
Each child will get $200 to purchase gifts for themselves and their loved ones. Sheriff’s Office volunteers will be on hand to wrap the gifts. Shop with a Sheriff is funded by grants, public donations and donations that Sheriff’s Office employees make to be able to sport beards or small nose rings throughout the year.
